Letter from Principal Middleton

Dear Daniel Jenkins Academy Scholars,

Welcome to a brand new school year! We are so excited to see your faces, hear your voices, and continue the journey of learning and growing together. Whether this is your first year or you a returning scholar, know this: we are so glad you're part of the Daniel Jenkins Academy family.

This year, our school wide theme is:

Be Engaged. Be Encouraged. Be Empowered. Be the Change.

Here’s what that means for YOU:

Be Engaged – Jump in! Ask questions, share your ideas, and participate fully in your learning. Your voice matters, and your effort makes a difference.

Be Encouraged – Believe in yourself, and lean on those around you when things get tough. We all have hard days, but here at DJA, you are never alone.

Be Empowered – Take charge of your growth. Try new things, set goals, and know that you have what it takes to make progress – and even lead others.

Be the Change – You have the power to make positive changes in your life through kindness, creativity, and courage, YOU can create positive change!

This year, your teachers, support staff, and your administration team are committed to helping you thrive – academically, socially, and emotionally. We want this to be a year where you feel proud of what you accomplish, excited to come to school, and put the effort in to be restored to your home school, ready to take on new challenges.

Remember, your journey is unique, and every step forward – no matter how small – is something to celebrate. We believe in you and can’t wait to watch you grow.

With pride and support, let’s make this an amazing year together!

Quintella Middleton, Your Principal
